Oh, I just looked at two pbooks and neither contains language forbidding copying.

My current p-book has this rather standard paragraph on the copyright page:
"No part of this book may be reproduced in any form whatsoever, whether by graphic, visual, electronic, film, microfilm, tape recording, or any other means, without prior written permission of the author, except in the case of brief passages embodied in critical reviews and articles."
OK, one kind of non-standard clause there: requiring the
author's permission rather than the publisher's.
